rockylinux-9.3-arm64 hangs on Waiting for HGFS to become available...

Describe the problem

When trying to launch a vagrant box with rockylinux-9.3-arm64 image, provisioning hangs on Waiting for HGFS to become available.... Disabling the synced folder resolves this problem, however, for my application I need that functionality available.

Software Version

Host:

• Apple MacBook Air Silicon M1
• MacOs 14.2.1
• Vagrant 2.4.1
• VMWare Fusion 13.5.0

Guest

• rockylinux-9.3-arm64 v202401.31.0

Replication Case

Use the following Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    config.vm.box = "bento/rockylinux-9.3-arm64"
    config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/home/vagrant/fs", disabled: false
    config.vm.provider "vmware_desktop" do |v|
       v.gui = true
    end
  end

Can you also try the default bento/rocklinux-9.3 which now has arm alongside x86 boxes. https://app.vagrantup.com/bento/boxes/rockylinux-9.3

@Stromweld , same issue with that box.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
   config.vm.box = "bento/rockylinux-9.3"
   config.vm.box_version = "202401.31.0"
   config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/home/vagrant/fs", disabled: false
   config.vm.provider "vmware_desktop" do |v|
      v.gui = true
   end
end

HGFS was never found on the running virtual machine. This must be
installed either through VMware tools or Open VM Tools. HGFS is
required for shared folders to work properly. Please install either
the VMware tools or Open VM Tools and try again.

This should be fixed now. I replaced the current version machine. If you can delete your vagrant box and download latest version again and give that a try.

Yup, that's working great now. Thank you!
